Reclassement (recoding)

[tsidymiboela_23]

Hello, I just used KoBoToolbox for the first time. My problem is that I want to recode the age variable.
For example, I have a numeric Age variable that needs to be filled in. I want to create another variable, recode_age, that takes the value of Age and classifies it according to specific criteria: 18 - 25 years, 26 - 30 years, 31 - 35 years, etc.
The recode_age variable should not be modifiable and should be automatic.
Thank you.
